Shucked 12 or 14TB Hard Drives any good (for a NAS)?

Perfect. I read some articles saying manufactures were putting in some protection to stop you from doing this. Just wanted to know if you could still Shuk drives.

Some external cases are clearly harder to open without breaking something.
Haven't opened Seagate's external drives myself, but when last time checking videos there seemed to be some tabs etc needing special tool to open.

WD Elements (/its rebrandings) should be still easy to open without physical damage, if you take it slowly and use care and old credit cards etc plastic thing to wedge it open.
(instead of screw drivers etc)

Good news.
If you don't mind me asking. What price did you pay?

Just want to get a reference to where prices are now. Just so I can get the best deal.

I have a Synology NAS running a 5 disk SHR-2 array. There's 4 4TB CMR Reds and a 4 TB Iron Wolf. The reds are around 5 years old so I'm going to start swapping them out for something bigger. Go down 3 disks plus backup
